What's Wrong?
I am getting 5 hour limit usage limitations when using claude for significantly less than 5 hours, this morning it was 2 hours.
I am running in a linux terminal on an ubuntu machine
Description: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
Release: 24.04
Codename: noble
What Should Happen?
claude should only give me this warning after 5 actual hours of use. The timer should not progress if claude is not running, or is idle, and especially not 3 hours early even under use.
Error Messages/Logs
